Newness, unfamiliarity, and cultural beliefs; social and behavioural barriers to Covid-19 vaccination among the Dumagat Remontado, an Indigenous population in the Philippines
Messy but worth it
Human-centred design (HCD) is an approach to problem-solving that prioritises understanding and meeting the needs of the end-users. Researchers and designers practice empathic listening as users share their perspectives, thereby enabling a variety of stakeholders to cocreate effective solutions. While a valuable and, in theory, straightforward process, HCD in practice can be chaotic: Practitioners often struggle to navigate an excess of (often co…
Conflicting and complementary notions of responsibility in caregiver’s and health care workers’ vaccination narratives in the Philippines
Background: Vaccine hesitancy (VH) continues to pose a public health threat globally. Understanding the attitudes and perceptions about vaccination of key stakeholders in vaccine decision-making (such as health care workers (HCWs) and caregivers) about vaccination can pave the way toward novel approaches to bolster vaccine confidence. In this study, we explored the role of notions of responsibilities among HCWs and caregivers in shaping vaccinati…
Human-centred design bolsters vaccine confidence in the Philippines
BACKGROUND: The public's confidence in vaccinations has eroded, and anti-vaccination movements have gained traction around the world, including in the Philippines. 'Salubong', a Filipino term, refers to welcoming someone back into one's life and elicits ideas about friendship and family relationships. We extended this concept to vaccines in efforts to design an intervention that would re-welcome vaccines into homes. METHODS: Using human-centred d…
Bargaining and gendered authority
INTRODUCTION: Targeted vaccination promotion efforts aimed at building vaccine confidence require an in-depth understanding of how and by whom decisions about vaccinating children are made. While several studies have highlighted how parents interact with other stakeholders when discussing childhood vaccination, less is known about the way in which vaccination uptake is negotiated within households. METHODS: We conducted 44 in-depth interviews wit…
Misinformation, infighting, backlash, and an ‘endless’ recovery; policymakers recount challenges and mitigating measures after a vaccine scare in the Philippines
BACKGROUND: Vaccine scares undermine longstanding global health achievements. Remarkably little data has documented the lived experiences of policymakers working amidst vaccine scares and navigating their fallout. As a result, chances and challenges of large-scale national recuperation efforts are poorly understood. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to explore the perspectives of policymakers involved in ongoing efforts to boost vaccine confidence in th…
Scared, powerless, insulted and embarrassed
BACKGROUND: Several studies have highlighted that vaccine hesitancy (VH) is among the most important threats to global health, especially in low- and middle-income countries, including the Philippines. However, there is a dearth of literature exploring family experiences of-or concerns related to-childhood vaccinations that gives voice to vaccine hesitant caregivers (VHCs) of small children. Here, we present insights from VHCs from the Philippine…
